“GyrOSC is a lightweight app that gives you direct access to the motion sensors in your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Wirelessly send the motion data to any Open Sound Control (OSC) capable application on your desktop or other device. There is no other software required. Applications such as Max/MSP, Pure Data, Processing, Ableton Live and others can be controlled with the motion of your iOS device.”

gyrOSC to Midi is a simple application with the task of translating the OSC messages from your iOS device into midi data that can be routed directly to Midi continuous controller messages. It has three Midi CC routing options for each of the gyroscope (pitch, roll and yaw), accelerometer and compass inputs, a sensitivity slider for the accelerometer, and toggle switches to invert the values being sent from the gyroscope.

The patch is written in the Max/MSP environment and compiled as an application on Mac OS X, so it can only be used on a Mac OS X computer.
